Once you engaged the enemy, speed was everything. When you weren't moving you were nothing but someone's target. "I want to go home." – "They almost killed you at home." – "Now I'm with you and they've almost killed me twice." Pike had learned this with the Marines – the one time a man didn't clean his rifle, that's when it jammed the one time you tape down a buckle or secure your gear, the noise it made got you killed. Pike didn't believe he would find anything, but he had to check, so he did, ignoring her. Pike studied the passengers in each vehicle, but none acted like killers on the hunt. It had saved them last night in Malibu, but now it might get them killed. Also the way he finds out the location of the bad guy near the end of the book doesn't seem very realistic. Especially the start doesn't look very logical when you look back. I enjoyed The Watchman, it was a page-turner with a lot of action and an interesting main character. Joe Pike – ex-cop, ex-Marine, and ex-mercenary – is tasked with the protection of a rich girl, who is a witness in a money-laundering investigation and hence is hunted by killers.
